FY10 Goals

These are a combination of my personal goals as well as my team's goals for Red Hat's FY10 (March 2009 - February 2010).

Open Source in Education

Be a catalyst for creating a free & viral open source curriculum that does not cannibalize existing revenue and that is intended to reach an order of magnitude more users than are currently trained in introductory-level Red Hat courses. Build a community of educators in support of the Open Source in Education vision. Participate in ancillary educational opportunities as they arise and where associated value is sufficient.

Project Building

Create, be, and be known for being a center of excellence on the following topics on the use, motivations, and characteristics of:

Open source community building best practices other than participation in code development as presently done by Red Hat engineering.

Free distributions, their development communities, and their relationship to Red Hat's paid products and commercial value proposition.

Create a community health dashboard, reflecting the status of the communities that exists around key Red Hat initiatives.

This project should be done in consultation with both RH and JBoss input.

Provide internal advocacy and exposure to the team's work.

Include metrics of participation, statistical analysis, and deltas over time.

Data driven benchmarking.

Work on the EKG project, which is an upstream tool for analyzing mailing list and other contributions to projects.

Highlight projects that have been identified as critical to Red Hat, and provide analysis of the health of the communities around those projects to aid in decision making.

Provide the Community Architecture team with a tool that can demonstrate the improvements in the communities in which we engage directly.

Develop a handbook around the community building strategies and tactics that have made us successful.

Participate, and when possible, provide leadership and vision in key Red Hat projects, providing valuable services to our "internal customers". Be internal advocates of the Community Architecture vision. Ensure that projects are built to handle new contributors.
